Biodun Kupoluyi, the publisher of E24/7 Magazine said the senior pastor of Household of God, Chris Okotie, has barred him from attending his church after he wrote a story alleging that Rev Okotie is dating an undergraduate named Miss Naomi Hoffman. Biodun is a 'controversial' member of Pastor Okotie's Household of God.
See what Biodun said about his encounter with Pastor Okotie below:
I received the news from a man claiming he's representing the church that he has been directed by the pastor of the church and members of Household of God church that I should not come and worship with them. His reason, he said, was premised on E24-7 magazine's expose - 'Pastor Chris finds new love... says I will not get married again, but may opt for surrogacy soon.'
I found it shocking that a day after the publication hit the streets, his media department sent a release out and it confirmed our story. He actually made those statements and we reported it. I think he did not think anybody could have known about his romance with the girl, Naomi. He was caught off guard...but as a journalist, I owe our teeming readers that responsibility.
I feel fulfilled, though I will miss his theatrics, his stage performances and verbosity."
- Is he right to report 'negative' stuffs about a church where he worships?
The guy is not a professional. You dont use your own pastor to sell your paper...Wise up Biodun.

There is freedom of Information Law in Nigeria so no one should prevent a journalist from doing his/her job. The guy can sue if he wants to
ReplyDeletewhy is he marring and remarrying,what kind of image is he showing to the world?is that what his bible says or is he ignoring that part of the scriptures,he is just a shame to christiandom and he shld stop claiming to be a pastor becos a pastor leads by example and he wld soon have a flock of undisciplined married and unmarried members that would pollute the society and the world at large.
